Some Mini Baked Goods!

I am BEYOND happy to finally have some of these baked items done! Not only are a few pies done, but I have some new doughnuts to share along with a new Halloween assorted set! Take a look?!

These pies are currently listed in my shop. You can find them HERE. As for my doughnuts... I ended up making quite a bit! I flocked some with craft sand and it looks just like sugar! Yay! I then made them look like they were filled with jelly! On the right, you can see an iced version!

I also made some chocolate ones! Whenever we go get donuts, I always get at least one chocolate iced one. They are my favorite! :)

And finally, here is the new Halloween set! I wanted to have a wider range of textures this year, so I added a sugared doughnut and played around with the icing on one.

I think it looks like a spider-web! And it even has blood jelly on the inside! Haha!

As always, thanks for stopping by! I am so happy I got to make some minis this week! And I still have the rest of today and tomorrow! :) I hope you all are doing well!

The Candy Shoppe!

It might just be me (but I am pretty sure it isn't), but doesn't candy just make you happier?! Maybe not even eating it (although that helps)- just looking at it makes me happy! All the colors! And textures! And not to mention the smells!

Well as you might can tell, I am on a candy kick! Not only have I been making a lot of candy- I have been planning a candy-themed project! I do not know the extent of how big this will be, or how long I will be working on it- but I DO know that it will involve all the sugar and chocolate and yumminess that I can whip up!

As you can see in the image above, I have been making a LOT of candy! I have been making more of the past favorites like jelly beans, candy corn, and chocolate turtles- along with some new candies! I have some caramel creams (one of my all-time favorite candies), orange slices, gum drops, various chocolates, and also rock candy!

Making miniatures isn't the easiest thing in the world- especially CANDY! Not only do they need to look realistic, but so many have to be made! Honestly, the easiest thing about making miniature candy is how easy it is to lose your mind! Haha! But that's okay for us miniature artists- we already all mad!



I am still not sure when some of the candies will be available. I want to make sure I have enough for a couple listings and I am also going to keep some for a personal project I want to do! :)

I will keep you guys posted as I work, as always!

Thanks for stopping by!

WIP Chocolate Turtles / Pecan Clusters

Hello everyone! I am FINALLY back to working!

To get back in the groove I started making some candies! :D These are chocolate turtles and/or pecan clusters. I call them chocolate turtles because that is just what I am used to. I also like them with almonds! Almonds are my favorite! Anyways....

 

Each one is handmade... I didn't use any molds because I wanted them each to be unique, just like real ones!

These are going to be "gourmet" chocolates. I love anything gourmet. Anything decadent. Anything chocolate. Haha :) The little papers with the gold foil are gong to be in the packages for these. I still have to make the small baggies these go in and I also have to add some finishing touches to the candies!

As for as my classes, they are going great! My classes on campus are both art related so I am having TONS of fun with them. I am taking Design and Computer Graphics. In Design we are cutting paper and in CG we are making movie posters! My other two online classes are kinda boring... they are Algebra and English. I like English, but it is taking a while to get used to it being online.

Well, I think that is all for now! I will hopefully be slowly picking my minis up more and more... and getting back to my house! I have collected about a dozen egg cartons by now. That's a lot of bricks! Haha!

Thanks for stopping by!
